Two engine stands a little steel some welding and primer. Frame now has 2 coats epoxy primer and hopefully some gloss black paint if I get lucky today

Great Idea Dan. I think I will fab one of those frame flippers myself. I knew there was good justification for having two engine stands :p

Got the gloss on yesterday......Would have been a lot better if I used black primer. Was hard to cover wherever frame had crossmembers. Will do fine for now. It feels like I'm starting to make progress after 2 years.

Well done Dan. I'll try that. Did you find they had a tendency to roll or tip as you changed the position of the frame?

Capt Al,
Flipper was sound and easy to use I was very happy. I had to build up the engine stands to completely roll the frame. I needed about 2-4 inches to completely roll frame. It was quite solid even built up. I ended up placing a pallet underneath to raise. It made working/painting a lot easier than expected
